Electricity for Health
in the 21st Century
U
nable to sleep on a hot, muggy summer night, I
switched on the television. A movie, Mary Shelley’s
Frankenstein, had started. Professor Waldman was
a medical scholar that had been censured for his rebellious
ways—he had diverged from accepted academic research.
Played by John Cleese,
his face loomed on the
screen as he explained to
Victor Frankenstein, a
medical student, played
by Kenneth Branagh:
“For thousands of years
the Chinese have based
their medical science on
the belief that the human
body is a chemical
engine run by energy
streams.” He went on
to explain how they insert: “… needles like these into the
flesh at various key points to manipulate these electric
streams.” The enraptured Frankenstein marveled, “I see, so
electricity is the key.”
For centuries, the Chinese have known about and worked
with the body’s electrical nature from an intuitive basis.
What, I wondered, has modern science discovered about
the flow of electricity in the body? What evidence is there
for an invisible river of electrons that provides life and
health?
1
The Electrical and Electromagnetic
Nature of the Body
What drives life is a little electrical current,
kept up by the sunshine. All the complexities of
intermediary metabolism are but the
lacework around this basic fact.
Albert Szent-Gyorgi
D
espite the fact it is a fight for scientists to gain
recognition and acceptance for their work
in proving the electrical nature of the body,
numerous patents have been filed, papers published, books
written, and web pages developed to explain the subject.
The research of the following scientists stood out for me.
Each breaks new ground in better understanding how our
bodies work to keep us alive and well.
Jacques Benveniste, M.D., a French scientist states: “Life
depends on signals exchanged among molecules.”1 These
signals travel at speeds beyond our comprehension. As
Benveniste points out, established medicine is based on
the theory that molecules communicate only when a ‘key’
2
molecule finds the right ‘keyhole’ molecule. A key must
be put in the right keyhole in the same way we unlock a
door. Finding the right keyhole allows the molecule to pass
along information or, in other words, create a chemical
reaction. He had been a scientist for many years before he
realized the absurdity of this theory—it suggests a random
and cumbersome process that would be far too slow to
account for the lightning speed of reactions in the body.
Benveniste’s research is based on the fact that molecules
vibrate—a fact known for decades. These vibrations are
the tools of the trade—the communication system by
which biological functions are controlled. The vibrations
are electromagnetic frequencies that send signals. Water
is one medium in the body through which high-speed
transmission of messages between molecules is possible.
“We can now understand,” says Benveniste, “how millions
of biological molecules can communicate at the speed of
light.” Identifying the specific electromagnetic frequency
for different molecules allows modern science to diagnose
and heal using those electromagnetic frequencies. A
discovery that, to this day, is largely ignored by established
medicine.
Electromagnetic frequencies generate electrical currents
3
and electric currents produce electromagnetic fields. As
a result, the terms ‘electricity,’ ‘electrical current’ and
‘electromagnetic’ are often used interchangeably.
Another leading scientist, Robert O.
Becker, M.D., broke new ground with
his research in healing using electricity.
He started by proving the electrical
nature of the nervous system and the
brain. In The Body Electric, he states:
“Our work on nerves and the brain was
leading toward a whole new concept of
life whose implications only gradually
became apparent.”2 Then came his discovery that bone
healing and growth were set in motion by a tiny charge
of electricity. Becker found electricity best described all
life functions. Electricity is commonly conducted with
the use of crystal structures. Crystal structures are a key
to understanding the electrical nature of cells. Becker
explained, “The electron microscope has shown us
crystallike structures of previously unsuspected complexity
in all living cells, …”3 In addition, he described another
system hidden within the biological structures of the body
for electrical transmission. The sheaths surrounding the
nerves themselves are not merely insulation as described
in established biology. They function as wires to conduct
electricity that reaches “… into each area of the body to
create a normal electrical environment around each cell, or
a stimulatory one when healing growth is needed.” Becker
had cleared the way for the “Body Electric” as a new
paradigm in medicine when he stated, “those embarrassing
little oddities that the chemical-mechanistic theory could
not explain are beginning to be understood …”
Modern medicine is still largely ignoring the research of
4
Benveniste, Becker and other pioneers that have helped us
to better understand how
the human body functions
and, more importantly,
how to better help it heal.
Franz Morrell, M.D.,
a German researcher,
inventor and author, also
proposed an electromagnetic
system to explain how the
body can transmit large
amounts of information
extremely fast. How much
information? Morrell states:
“In a single cell the amount
of information being
transmitted per second is
so great that it would take
a hundred years to read if it
were printed.”4
Science & Vie, a French
magazine reported more evidence for the electrical river
in our bodies. Translated the article states: “White cells
(leukocytes) kill bacteria and pathogenic fungus by
electrocuting them.”5 White blood cells are a key immune
system component. This discovery gained further attention
when a letter, sent by the research team, was published in
Nature, a UK science journal.6
The next researcher that stood out reminded me of what
I was taught in high school science—that the exchange
of sodium and potassium across the cell membrane
creates a pump that is an essential function to sustain
life. A physicist in Greece, Panos Pappas, Ph.D. reminds
5
us what we are not taught. Pappas explains that the
pump hypothesis is not complete as it does not explain
how the amount of sodium differs from the amount of
potassium being exchanged. What, then, is the missing
ingredient? The missing ingredient is electricity! The rapids
get rougher here as mainstream science does not accept
transmutation—one element being changed or transmuted
into another. Both a French and a Japanese scientist, Louis
Kervran and George Ohsawa, proved that sodium can be
transmuted into potassium with the addition of oxygen
and … electrical energy.7
When describing the transmutation process, tracking how
the body uses electricity,
and how the body works to
maintain a balance between
sodium, potassium and
other chemical reactions in
the body, Pappas exclaimed,
“This makes understandable
the wisdom of positioning
the adrenal glands on the
top of the kidneys.”8 It isn’t
necessary to understand the
details of the reactions to
appreciate his realization—that our Creator knew how to
best design our bodies.
Let’s pause to review why electricity is a key to how the
body functions. Communication within is instantaneous.
Electromagnetic signals are the only way to account for the
astounding speed and number of transactions our body
must conduct simultaneously. Our bodies are composed
of the elements that readily conduct electricity: water,
crystal structures and nerves. Research is proving that our
6
immune system depends on electricity to zap pathogens.
And, electricity explains how the body balances chemical
reactions such as the crucial exchange between sodium and
potassium.
Daniel L. Kirsch, Ph.D. and Fred N. Lerner, Ph.D., sum
up for us: “Atoms are bonded electrically. Further in our
rudimentary training we learned that there are voltage
potentials across the membrane of all cells. They do not,
however, speculate on the staggering significance of these
facts.”9 Researchers with open minds who are willing to go
beyond established thinking and theories are getting closer
to understanding our Creator’s grand design for how we
function in the river of life.

The Body Uses Light and Sound
The saying is, as above so below. We have
light and sound here because they already exist
in the higher planes. …These are very
important aspects of God,
the Light and Sound.
Harold Klemp
M
any religions agree—there is a life force that
sustains us. It’s called the Holy Spirit, Prana,
the Qi or Chi, the ECK, the Force, and other
names. Scriptures describe this forming-power as Light
and Sound. Like many others, I enjoy the inspiration,
upliftment and love that comes from experiencing
this Light and Sound inwardly using contemplative
techniques.10 How does this Light and Sound manifest
physically?
Let’s start with Heinrich Hertz, a physicist, who discovered
the “photoelectric effect” in the 1890s. This effect means
that light interacts with matter to create electricity—when
light strikes a substance, electrons are discharged. Later,
renowned scientist Albert Einstein, proposed that we
receive light as photons. The photon is both a particle and
a wave that travels at the speed of light.
We absorb photons directly from sunlight and also from
plants depending on their health or nutrient content.
Photons from the sun are absorbed not only through the
eyes but also through the skin. Research confirms the
existence and importance of the acupuncture points and
meridians for conducting light to the body. And … the
8
acupuncture points
and meridians have
also been proven to
be more electrically
conductive than
surrounding tissue.2, 11
I was excited to learn
that light produces
electrical currents in
the body. I found it
even more intriguing
to discover that the
reverse is also true—
our electrical energy
assists our cells to generate photons. Our bodies emit light.
Biophotons is the term used to describe light emitted by
the body. It is our DNA that absorbs, stores and then
re-emits light—it is the body’s electrical transformer. It
is the blueprint found in every cell that makes each of us
unique. It stores the
information needed
to generate new cells
that form our liver,
our heart, or any
part of the body we
use.12
Fritz Popp,
Ph.D., a German
researcher, led the
way in biological
photon research.
He described a
photon as a process
9
rather than a particle. It is an electromagnetic field that
can be measured. His measurements illuminate how the
millions of reactions within a cell each second can only be
explained by the speed of light—neither thermal radiation
nor chemical reactions can explain the speed it takes for
the work our cells do. “Photons are the real regulators of
our biological systems,” he says.13 One photon can trigger
one million reactions in one second and the reaction rate
increases with the number of photons available.
Healthy cells glow with the dance of biophotons.
Biophotons, explains Popp, substitute for the sun during
the hours when we’re not exposed to it—they can deliver
an equivalent intensity! As one researcher states: “We
are in a very literal sense light beings as ancient mystical
teachings profess.”11
“What about the body’s use of sound?” I thought.
“Remember the universe was created by sound. Very
shortly the scientists will be saying this,” Richard Gerber,
M.D. reminded us in 1988 with the publication of
Vibrational Medicine.14 Sound absorbed through the ear or
the skin also produces electricity. We think of sound and
light as separate phenomena but they’re simply the same
electromagnetic energy—detectable at different frequencies
and wavelengths. Light in frequencies above, below and
within the visual spectrum is both absorbed and emitted
by the body. So too is sound both absorbed and emitted
from above, below, and within the audible range. “Small
sophisticated tuning forks.”15 That’s how one researcher
described the DNA in a cell. The BBC News online
posted an article describing how a musician and a biologist
worked together to convert the electromagnetic DNA
vibrations to audible sound. They discovered the sound of
DNA makes beautiful music.16
10
Just as we emit light, we emit sound—to varying degrees
depending on our health. If you apply the discipline and
practices of the Qigong masters in China you have a high
level of sound at your command. Research proves their
discipline and practices result in sound signals from their
hands one hundred times more powerful than the average
person and one thousand times more powerful than those
who are ill.17 The Book of Sound Therapy reminded me again
of our Creator’s grand design in the bodies we use. “The
human being is … likened to a very complex, unique, and
finely-tuned musical instrument … the body continually
broadcasts the frequencies of physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual life.”18 Research shows when missing sound
frequencies are restored, the body heals. In The Book of
Sound Therapy, the author also traces the value of chanting
as having “therapeutic powers by establishing and
maintaining the tuneful harmony between human and
heavenly existence.”
To recap, our body functions as a single instrument. Our
cells rely on light and sound to play a healthy tune. The
electromagnetic vibrations of light and sound create the
11
electricity cells need to carry on their work and constantly
replace themselves. DNA acts as the transformer—giving
cells the electricity to play their part and, in turn, broadcast
light and sound. That is the underlying basis for health.
We rely on light and sound from our Creator, the sun,
food and water.

Energy Medicine
Many scientists, who are on the frontier,
theorize and have demonstrated that we are an
information system and it’s not entirely localized
in our body, that we are accessing information
from the field all the time.
Lynne McTaggart
Fields of information are control systems over
and above the molecular level or biochemical level.
They are systems that organize the body.
Rupert Sheldrake
O
ur bodies, I discovered, have an early-warning
system for disease. Energy medicine recognizes
that information is constantly exchanged
between our physical bodies and a field of energy that
surrounds us. This field of varying vibrations, structures
and organizes the physical body. I now understand that
chemical deficiencies, be they vitamins, minerals or
hormones, show up at a later stage. The body’s first signal
that all is not well is vibrational or electromagnetic. This
13
seemingly invisible vibrational field can, however, be
detected and seen.
Energy fields of coloured light emanating from the physical
body were first made visible by a Russian couple, Semyon
and Valentina Kirlian, in 1939. While repairing hospital
equipment Semyon noticed electromagnetic vibrations
caught imprints of human energy on film. Working
with his wife, Kirlian further developed the technique to
capture the energy fields. The technique became known as
Kirlian Photography.19 In 1996, Dr. Konstantin Korotkov,
another Russian researcher who had met Semyon Kirlian
in his later years, developed a more advanced system—a
camera with computer software—to visually present this
energy or, “informational field” as he calls it, for diagnostic
purposes.
In addition, Dr. Korotkov used his system to measure the
energy fields of champion athletes, individuals involved
in creative pursuits, and those with a spiritual calling. He
discovered they displayed a more highly balanced energy
field than usual. He concluded, “So this electrical process is
not only health, it is not only well being, it is creativity, it
is attitude to the world.”20
Wolfgang Ludwig, a contemporary researcher in Germany,
compares the energy field of the body to the seemingly
solid physical body: “We have one billion more electronic
particles than mass particles. Our body consists of a lot of
biophotons and electromagnetic signals but only a very,
very small part of material particles.”21
The disease process starts when damaging frequencies or
vibrations are stored in cells. These damaging waves may
build up unnoticed for years as chemical changes do not
14
appear until later. Bacteria, viruses and other pathogens
take hold and the disease process gradually becomes visible.
It took me many years to recognize that my unhealthy
lifestyle—poor diet and lack of exercise, emotional and
mental stress, and exposure to environmental pollutants—
were aging my body faster than necessary. I now realize
this lifestyle was creating damaging frequencies that can be
detected long before physical symptoms erupt.
Jimmy Scott, Ph.D., founder of a system called Health
Kinesiology, helps define Energy Medicine. “We use
energy in our English language in a lot of different ways.
… The energy I am talking about … the best word for it
is bioenergetic … the flow and function of energy within
us and between us and the environment.” He continues, “I
see the bioenergy in the body as being the blueprint for the
physical body.”
In addition to use as an early warning system, Jimmy
Scott points out that therapies can also be applied at
the subtle energy level for profound effects physically,
emotionally and mentally. He explains, “We can deal with
phobias usually in a few minutes. But the academics are
not interested in
that … they won’t
even look at the
new techniques
because they
don’t understand
what energy is all
about.”22
In Energy
Medicine, Donna
Eden describes
15
how she works with seemingly empty space to help relieve
suffering. She has worked on individuals with phantom
limb pain after an appendage has been cut off. This pain
is very real despite the fact a physical leg, arm or finger is
missing. A war veteran whose foot and leg had been shot
off was experiencing such excruciating pain in the missing
limb he was losing his will to live. Eden started working
on the space where his foot had been—massaging the
subtle energy field that still existed. His pain gradually
disappeared.23
Drugs are often the treatment of choice when disease is
diagnosed. W. Langreder, another German researcher
cautioned us, “They [drugs] act in the body by suppressing
damaging waves from a sick organ …” Langreder further
warned, “A chain of complaints follows which neither the
patient nor the doctor connects with the earlier allopathic
[drug] therapy—the seemingly quick healing …”24 In
other words, ‘damaging waves’ are created by the body’s
electrical response to stresses. These damaging waves are
stored and build up until a physical symptom or illness
erupts. If a drug suppresses these damaging waves rather
than release them by stimulating the body to heal itself, we
start a chain reaction that eventually leads to more severe
symptoms and illness.
Langreder also reminds us that the damaging waves “move
first to the jawbones which steer them on to the teeth.”
Tooth decay is an early warning signal of disease.
To restore health, the flow of energy in and out of the
body in the form of electromagnetic waves, vibrations,
or oscillations—the electrical processes—must be reestablished. This is not usually an instant process. Time
and patience are necessary to coach the body back to
16
electromagnetic equilibrium for health. There are several
therapies that work to balance the energy body that
in turn allows for mental, emotional and physical or
chemical balance. Some of the better-known therapies
are: acupressure, acupuncture, applied kinesiology,
aromatherapy, chiropractic, colour therapy, homeopathy,
lymphology, massage, sound therapy, nutritional products
and plant essences brimming with photons. Several stateof-the-art computerized devices are now available that
both detect damaging waves on an energy level and apply
appropriate energetic treatments to help restore balance.25
Energy medicine recognizes an early-warning system for
disease. If imbalances in the vibrations of our energy field
are corrected soon enough, we can restore health rather
than experience disease.

History of Electro-Medicine
By 1884 it was estimated that 10 000 physicians
in the USA were using electricity every day
for therapeutic purposes …
James L. Oschman
H
istory came alive for me when I read that
electric fish were the earliest recorded form of
electro-medicine. I wondered how many people
over the ages had rejuvenated themselves accidentally
and then deliberately by a run in with an electric eel.
I’m sure such encounters could have been fatal as well.
The ancient Roman physician, Scribonius Largus, in 46
AD, cured headache and gout by having patients stand
on a wet electric torpedo fish.26 Dr. Norman Shealy, the
developer of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
(TENS) explains, “Intermittently the electric fish was
used for a variety of illnesses until about 1745 when
‘artificial’ electricity began to replace the less controlled
19
natural source.”27 By the 19th century electricity was
used extensively in health spas and as part of medical
treatments.
The use of electricity for health continued to thrive into
the 20th century. I enjoy a dose of electricity as a result
of this era every time I visit a store on Main Street in
Disneyland. Two free-standing devices from earlier in the
century attract me with the headlines: “Electricity—The
Silent Physician” and “Electricity is Life.”
Researcher, Georges Lakhovsky, actually had hospital
cooperation in the eastern United States for his work
with electricity in the early part of the 20th century. He
published a book, The Secret of Life, in 1935 to describe
the variety of disease conditions that were cleared in
humans, animals and plants with his Multiple Wave
Oscillator. Lakhovsky also concluded the nature of the cell
is electrical. The cell or the “essential organic unit in all
living beings,” he said, “is nothing but an electromagnetic
resonator, capable of emitting and absorbing radiations
of very high frequency.”28 As medical and pharmaceutical
dominance of the health care system closed in, his research
ended.
Many years later, Robert C. Beck, D.Sc., a distinguished
physicist, brought Lakhovksy’s Multiple Wave Oscillator
to public attention. His design became known among
those who continued to research electricity for health as
the ‘Beck antenna’. In a paper published in 1963, Beck
reported: “Within this multiple-wave range of frequencies,
every cell in the body can find its ONE resonant frequency
and absorb energy at its own natural wavelength.”29
Independent of Lakhovksy, Royal Raymond Rife, was
20
having phenomenal success in the western U.S.—clearing
cancer in California with a bio-electric device. Barry Lynes
summarizes his story for us in The Healing of Cancer: “In
association with the University of Southern California, a
number of clinics used Rife’s technology to cure terminal
cancer during the period 1934–1938. Some of the leading
researchers in the country and leading physicians in
Southern California participated.”30 On May 6, 1938 the
Evening Tribune in San Diego featured an article by Newell
Jones titled, “Dread Disease Germs Destroyed by Ray,
Claim of S.D. Scientist.” Despite a sub-title that heralded
a new era: “Cancer Blow Seen After 18-Year Toil by Rife”
the research came to a sudden end.31 Lynes continues, “In
1938, the AMA [American Medical Association] … found
out about the Rife cancer cure … the entire program was
destroyed within six months. … Rife was hauled into court
and the treatment was effectively quashed.”
What gave the AMA such power? Why did research with
electrical health devices have to go underground? In the
U.S. up to the
1920’s, medical
training was
available from a
variety of schools
offering differing
specialties including
the use of electricity.
Under the guise
of protecting the
public, the “Flexner
Report” prepared
by Dr. Abraham
Flexner of the
21
Rockefeller Institute, was commissioned.32 This report
recommended commercial medical schools be closed
and that university medical schools adopt a standard
curriculum. The Flexner Report was financed by the same
people who were investing in the fledgling pharmaceutical
industry. It is not surprising, then, that the standardized
curriculum did not include electro-medicine. Dominance
of the surgical and pharmaceutical approach to health was
soon established.33
Despite peer censure, leading scientists have continued
to pursue electricity for health throughout the twentieth
century. Björn Nordenström, a medical doctor in Sweden
was among them. He used electricity for cancer patients.
He gained a prestigious reputation as a former Chairman
of the Nobel Assembly and the inventor of the needle
biopsy. In 1983 he published a book titled Biological Closed
Electric Circuit Clinical, Experimental, and Theoretical Evidence
for an Additional Circulatory System. He discovered, “… all
living systems contain numerous functioning electrical
circuits. … These circuits exist in all bodily functions and
… determine the well being of the body.”
Today, Russian and Eastern European scientists are
considered the leaders in electro-medical research.34 The
“sputnik”, an electronic pill that activates in the stomach
is reported to have been the secret to keeping aging and
ailing former Soviet leaders alive.35 Information on the
Internet states: “The capsule is part of a whole program of
natural drugless treatment developed in Russia. … gives
you a kind of super acupuncture treatment as it travels
through your digestive system.”36 It can be used more
than once. I’ve tried the capsule and the one draw back is
retrieving the launch capsule once it is expelled with feces.
22
Electricity has an impressive record. It has been used for
health for about twenty centuries—from Roman times to
today.
23
Environmental and Food Factors
A wealth of electrons means an increase in
happy well-being. … An electron-rich food
intake which supplies us with the resonance
system for the sun’s energy, must once more
achieve priority.
Johanna Budwig
B
efore examining bio-electric devices further, let’s
look at environmental influences and foods that are
helpful or harmful to the body’s electrical systems.
Dr. Fritz Popp, father of biophoton research, developed a
system to measure whether a food or substance is toxic or
to what degree a substance is beneficial to the cells. The
greater the capacity of the food to store light, the greater
its value to our health. As an example, Popp used his
testing method to compare eggs raised by two different
methods. Free-range eggs are considered superior because
the chickens are allowed to live naturally—to wander and
to feed on greens. The industry producing eggs for the
24
mass market, on the other hand, keeps chickens caged
and unable to move about. In his testing he did not find
any difference in the chemical composition of the eggs—
nutrients appeared to be equal. He did, however, find that
the free-range eggs transmitted more light.13 This means
they provide a greater benefit to the body electrically.
Ultimately, then, the free-range eggs provide more
chemical nourishment for the body as well.
Reporting on Dr. Patrick Flanagan’s research in Towards
a New Alchemy, Nick Begich tells how ingesting raw
amino acids, the building blocks for protein, boosted the
energy or electrical readings of the acupuncture points
dramatically.37 Other foods that boost the energy flow
are fresh vegetables and fruit—especially organically
grown. Raw foods are superior to cooked because of their
photon energy. This has also been proven with Kirlian
photography, another method to measure light emission.38
The late German researcher Hans Nieper, M.D., when
working with Multiple Sclerosis patients found foods rich
in beta-carotene helped relieve symptoms. He noticed,
however, that beta-carotene supplements were not as
effective as the raw foods. As a result, he speculated that
the beta-carotene in raw food was more electrically active
than the supplements.39 With a dependence on processed
foods and synthetic food supplements, it’s easy to see how
modern diets lead to electrical starvation.
The water we drink should still have a high degree of
electrical energy. Flanagan, among others, describes water
to be the most electrically alive when its whirling flow has
not been impeded and it retains a ready supply of naturally
dissolved colloidal and ionic minerals. Flanagan also
noted that emotional states cause our electrical readings to
25
fluctuate widely. And, here are some of the environmental
factors that interfere with the electrical activity of the
body: synthetic clothing; indoor air from synthetic
carpeting, drapes and upholstery; forced air heating and
electric baseboard heating; cigarette smoke; aluminum
and building materials that shield or distort the natural
energy fields from the earth and the universe. Long-term
exposure to heavy metals such as mercury interferes with
the electricity of the cell as well.
Not all electricity, of course, is beneficial. Considerable
evidence exists demonstrating that power lines,
transformers and appliances—transmitting or using high
voltage, 50 or 60 cycles per second, alternating current
(AC)—emit harmful extra-low-frequency (ELF) waves.
This type of electricity does not occur in nature.
Medical diagnostic systems such as X-rays can be damaging
to health. X-rays are a potential hazard as they generate
ionizing radiation. X-rays actually ionize molecules when
they strike the body. These ionized molecules can then
form mutations that may be toxic to the body. Diagnostic
devices such as the electroencephalogram (EEG) to
measure brain wave activity, the electrocardiogram (ECG)
to monitor the heart, and magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) to detect tumors, have not proved harmful. They
generate more electricity than the bio-electric devices used
as therapies.

M
ost bio-electric devices for health work to gently
stimulate the natural electrical currents in the
body to help generate healing.
Dr. Robert O. Becker, truly a pioneer in electro-medicine,
stated: “It is now evident that a wide variety of waveforms,
pulse shapes, frequencies, and current densities will
give considerable pain relief.”3 Three applications in
particular have gained government approval. One is the
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
device used for sports injuries and pain relief. A second is
Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES) units. CES devices
have proven effective as therapy for anxiety, depression,
insomnia, and even addictions.40 And thirdly, the use of
pulsed magnetic fields is becoming widely accepted for
healing. In addition to wide-spread use in Russia and
Eastern Europe, research is starting to escalate in the UK
and North America. An associate of Dr. Becker, C. Andrew
Bassett, M.D., obtained FDA approval in the U.S. for the
use of Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Frequencies (PEMF) for
healing difficult bone fractures.41 Devices called repetitive
Trans Magnetic Stimulators (rTMS) are providing
relief from migraine headaches, schizophrenia, epilepsy,
obsessive-compulsive disorder and strokes. Science News is
one of the magazines that has summarized several rTMS
27
research projects and explains: “Unlike a direct electrical
current, a magnetic field penetrates a skull easily and
painlessly, as if it were a ghost passing through a wall.” The
magnetic field induces a current “that stimulates brain-cell
activity.”42
The field of ‘bioelectromagnetic medicine’ is growing.
That’s a mouthful but it is the term modern pioneers are
using to describe this medical field. An article in Alternative
Medicine reports: “It’s safer than drugs and more costeffective for osteoarthritis… It eases symptoms of macular
degeneration, cancer, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, and
Parkinson’s disease—conditions for which sufferers would
welcome any new option.”43
While research using electromagnetic, frequency, and
microcurrent therapies is still limited because of the
high cost of research as well as limited acceptance by the
medical community, it has gained ground compared to
the fate of at least two earlier researchers. I talked with
Dr. Benjamin Lau in 1999, a medical researcher at Loma
Linde University. He said that his research on sports
injuries in the 1980’s using a Pulsed Magnetic Field device
was getting promising results. He could not, however, get
funding to continue the research.44 That was the fate of
Dr. Robert O. Becker’s research as well. He reported in The
Body Electric, “The lab ceased to exist on New Year’s Day
1981.”2
An independent researcher, Dr. Hulda Clark, Ph.D., N.D.,
operated a clinic in Mexico before her passing in 2009.
She wrote several books to make her clinical findings
known directly to the public. Clark identified chemicals
as hidden pollutants in processed foods, personal care and
household products. These chemicals encourage the growth
28
of intestinal parasites that lead to disease. Clark offered an
herbal protocol and cleansing programs that included an
electrical unit, the Zapper, to help eliminate parasites and
disease. Dr. Clark said, “Zapping does not kill shielded
organisms such as those that may be in the middle of your
stomach or intestines. … So zapping is still not perfect,
but can bring such manifest
relief that everyone should buy
or make one.”45
The late Robert (Bob) C. Beck,
D.Sc. was also an independent
researcher who funded his
own projects—many related to
health. He proved his genius
while still in college with his
invention of the flash bulb. Among his achievements as a
physicist, were a magnetometer, a miniaturized SQUID
(Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) that
measured extremely low-level electromagnetic radiation
and a handheld EEG (electroencephalogram) device to
measure brain waves. As a result of his brain research,
he developed the Brain Tuner, a CES (cranial electro
stimulation) unit.
Beck was respected by many of his peers. One colleague
was reported to have said he should have been on the
cover of Time magazine as the ‘People’s Scientist.’ Bob was
known to champion the public cause. He felt we should be
informed about emerging and often secret technologies—
both harmful and beneficial.46
Beck was among a group of maverick scientists that
are members of the US Psychotronics Association—an
organization formed to bridge the esoteric and scientific
29
worlds. Dr. Elizabeth Rauscher, a brilliant scientist and
member of this group, revealed there are a considerable
number of well-qualified researchers who are part of this
sub-culture. They meet to share, question, and explore
what conventional science does not yet understand or
accept.47
One of the avenues of research that caught Beck’s attention
was that of Steven Kaali, M.D. and William Lyman, Ph.D.
at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. In
1993, they filed U.S. Patent Number 5,188,738 giving
details of their research. In their laboratory, gentle levels of
electricity proved “to render the bacteria, virus, parasites
and/or fungus ineffective to infect or affect the normally
healthy cells while maintaining the biological usefulness of
the blood or other fluids.”48 On a CBC radio broadcast in
Canada, Dr. Lyman explained the level of electric current
was considered safe as it was about the same as pacemakers
that have been used safely for many years.49
After discovering this
patent, Beck applied his
inventive genius to develop
a non-invasive way to pulse
microcurrents into the blood.
Using his knowledge as a
physicist, he designed a unit
to overcome the natural
resistance of the skin; to
produce enough voltage
to create the necessary
microcurrents in the blood;
to ensure there would not be
undue heat; and to ensure the blood would not be ionized.
The microcurrent unit places two electrodes over the
30
arteries (pulse points) on the wrist for blood electrification.
At these pulse points, the arteries come closer to the
surface, hence the electricity is better able to reach the
blood.
Later, realizing the lymph carries about 10 times the
amount of viruses and bacteria as blood, he invented a
direct current (DC) pulsed magnetic field device to use on
lymph nodes as well as other sites on the body. The pulsed
magnetic field is geared to create microcurrents in lymph
and tissue. The level of microcurrents as stated in the Kaali,
et. al. patent is 50 to 100 microamperes of current. Beck
stated: “There are no known side effects since milliampere
Outputs of Electro-Therapy Devices
Microcurrent Technology (Beck):
50 - 100 μA in blood.
Patent #5,188,738:
up to 100 μA.

200 - 1000 μA.
FDA Approved for Bone Growth:
10 μA DC.
CES Devices:

TENS Devices
60 μA with shorter pulse.
31
currents applied to skin are much lower than those in FDA
approved TENS, CES and muscle stimulators which have
been in safe daily use for many years.”50
He brought the benefits of his bio-electric units directly to
public attention by speaking at Natural Health Shows in
the U.S. Beck, however, did not sell either unit. Instead,
for a small fee to cover printing costs, he provided a
handout describing how to build the units. For those who
are not technically proficient, he recommended purchasing
units from SOTA Instruments Inc.51
In addition to the application of microcurrents and pulsed
magnetic fields, Beck advocated the benefits of ionic/
colloidal silver and drinking freshly ozonated water for
health. With the help of SOTA, his four-steps for health
became known as “The Beck Protocol.” Preliminary
research and a wealth of testimonials provide evidence for
the effectiveness of the Beck Protocol.52
During an interview in 1998 about his life and work, Beck
summed up by saying, “Well, God has left a back door that
cures and that back door seems to be electricity.”53
While I love Bob’s comment, I don’t want to mislead
anyone with the word ‘cure.’ This word, used within
the Medical Model for health, gives credit to something
outside the body that is perceived to end the disease
process. Within the Natural Health Model it is understood
that the body’s natural ability to heal itself can be
stimulated—such as with bio-electric therapies. Whether
our bodies are working to heal us or not, however, depends
on how we treat them over time.
32
How the Beck Units Help
Any interventions that down-regulate the
sympathetic nervous system, up-regulates the
parasympathetic nervous system, which has a
beneficial effect on the body. … microcurrent has
been able to sedate the sympathetic nervous system
and activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Dietrich Klinghardt
B
lood examined under a darkfield microscope shows
amazing improvement after applying microcurrents
for blood electrification based on the Beck
Protocol. Two natural health practitioners in Germany,
Thomas Blasig and Bea Langhammer, followed up on
thirty years of research by the late Dr. Alfons Weber, MD.
Using a high-powered microscope, Dr. Weber discovered
that applying heat to a drop of fresh blood released
parasites from the red blood cells. He found that the blood
of most of the cancer patients he examined was highly
infected with this parasite while the blood of a healthy
33
person exhibited very few parasites. This blood parasite,
released from the cells only after gently heating the blood,
is different from intestinal parasites.
Blasig and Langhammer examined the blood of those who
had been diagnosed with cancer both before and after their
clients used a variety of natural therapies. The blood was
examined using a darkfield microscope. The application
of microcurrents (blood electrification) based on units
built according to Bob Beck’s instructions was among the
therapies used. They discovered the microcurrents cleared
the parasites from the blood cells faster than any other
therapy and correlated with the progress of clearing the
cancer. In addition, they emphasized lifestyle changes and
a nutrient-rich diet with supplements were important for
those who reversed their cancers.54
Microcurrents and pulsed magnetic fields do more than
render blood cell parasites or pathogens ineffective. To
regain health, the immune system must also be stimulated
to allow the body to heal itself. I found evidence for six
more ways that gentle currents of electricity may help to
restore health.
1. Greater exposure to the natural electromagnetic
frequency of the earth may help. In The Body Electric,
Becker explains: “On earth, all entities formed within
the 10-hertz discharge.”2 More specifically, 7.83 Hz is
reported as a specific frequency of the earth’s pulsating
magnetic field—often referred to as the Schumann
effect. Becker continues, “…it can be used to restore
normal circadian rhythms to humans cut off from the
normal fields of earth, moon, and sun.” The frequency
of each square wave emitted by the Beck microcurrent
unit for the blood is one-half of the earth’s 7.83
34
Hz frequency. Each complete wave, then, emits a
frequency close to that of the earth.
2. Dr. Patrick Flanagan explains that blood and all
cellular fluids must have a high enough Zeta Potential
or negative charge to keep cells and all particulates
in suspension. If they don’t, the various particles will
clump together and form a sludge. He explains that
very few health professionals are aware of Zeta Potential
and its importance to health because it is studied only
within colloidal chemistry.37 Live blood cell analysis
with a darkfield microscope before and after a series of
microcurrent applications shows improvement in both
the shape and strength of the cells, with less clumping
and a better flow of the cells. It would appear that the
Zeta Potential is boosted by applying microcurrents of
electricity.
3. The production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP
is the molecule formed in the cell that is crucial to
giving the cell and the body energy to function. U.S.
Patent Number 5,133,352 for the treatment of Herpes
I and II states: “Low voltage electrical current actually
recharges the energy level of the cell which changes
the biochemical working of the cell at micro levels.
This has been shown in recent studies to increase ATP
energy production by up to 500%”55, 56 Perhaps this is
why individuals suffering from CFS (chronic fatigue
syndrome) often report dramatic improvement in their
energy level after applying microcurrents.
4. The researcher that filed the patent above also reported
that protein absorption into the cells increased between
“30 and 40%” with the application of microcurrents.
Protein is a nutrient our bodies use continuously, as
35
it is crucial to keep our cells in good repair. Increased
absorption of protein is the fourth reason to help us
understand why our energy is increased and why the
ability of the body to heal itself improves.
5. Physicist Gary Wade, proposes a fifth reason why
microcurrents and pulsed magnetic fields are effective.
They create ultrasound frequencies in the cell
membrane. These frequencies, he explains, disarm
viruses and bacteria but are beneficial to the cell.
The level of ultrasound produced is safe as it is one
billionth of the ultrasound used in diagnostic medical
equipment.58, 59
6. Creating a healthy cell voltage is one more reason
microcurrents may help the body to heal. It is wellknown in medical circles that healthy cells have a
voltage of -25mV. It isn’t as well documented, however,
that cell voltage changes, sometimes so extreme as to
move into the positive range. When that happens, cells
become sick. For example, cancer is known to form
when cells have a voltage in the +30mV range.
In his book, Healing is Voltage, Dr. Jerry Tennant,
MD reminds us that our body cells are constantly
replacing themselves. In order for the body to create a
new healthy cell, a voltage of -50mV is required. He
states that: “The human body is controlled primarily
by electronics (physics) not chemistry.”60 Nutrition
is central to creating a healthy voltage. Foods that are
alkaline-forming add or donate electrons to the cells to
create a healthy voltage. Acid-forming foods remove or
steal electrons from the cells to nudge the body towards
the creation of unhealthy cell voltages. Microcurrents
donate electrons. This means that microcurrents help
36
create cells with a healthier voltage.
That is an impressive list to explain how the Beck units
may work to feed the river of electricity within and
stimulate the body to help itself: reducing blood cell
parasites, greater exposure to the natural earth frequency,
increased Zeta Potential or negative charge, increased
production of energy-giving ATP, increasing the ability
of the cells to absorb more protein, the production of
ultrasound frequencies, and creating a healthy cell voltage.
Six Ways Beck Units
May Help Healing
* Greater exposure to the natural electromagnetic frequency of
the earth.
(7.83 Hz known as the Schumann effect)
* Increase to the Zeta Potential.
* Increased ATP production
* Increased Protein absorption
* Ultrasound frequencies created in cell membranes disarm
viruses and bacteria, but benefit the cells.
* Creating healthy cell voltage.
Research also shows improved circulation of blood
and lymph, increased oxygen levels in the blood and
an alkalizing effect result from the application of
microcurrents or pulsed magnetic fields. The body may
benefit in many ways—reduced inflammation, accelerated
healing, reduced swelling, reduced stress, and pain relief. It
is not surprising, then, that the use of the Beck units helps
some to overcome even serious illnesses.34, 40, 52, 61
I like the way Michael Hutchison put it in Mega Brain
37
Power after discussing several devices, “the electrical
impulses themselves, if delivered in the proper form and at
the proper intensity, must be like the purest nutrient.”62

T
he electromagnetic energy of our earth is
important to our health and well-being. Space
shuttles have built-in electromagnetic fields to
maintain the health of astronauts while they are away from
earth. So too, our earth must be constantly nourished:
“Without lightning all life on the planet would die,”
stated the late Eldon Byrd. As a medical engineer, Byrd
had many interests. He
explained: “Lightning is
the mechanism by which
the earth restores itself.
… Earth is like a giant
battery or capacitor.”63
In fair weather, electrons
are constantly being
released from the earth’s
surface. Lightning is the
mechanism that restores
the earth’s charge. The
electrical energy of
lightning, in turn, creates
a chemical reaction to
39
sustain life. Nitrogen in the atmosphere must be ‘fixed’
or converted to nitrogen oxides for use by plants. Back
in 1936, it was estimated that one hundred million tons
of nitrogen are fixed annually by lightning and carried
to the earth’s soil by the precipitation of rain, snow and
hail.64 Nitrogen plays a key role in the nourishment plants
provide us.
As long ago as 1909, the electrical connection between
plants and our Earth in the far north was discovered by a
researcher in Finland and reported in Scientific American:
“The rapid growth of plants in the polar regions has
hitherto been attributed to the continuous daylight of
two or three months in summer, but this explanation
must be abandoned. Prof. Lemstroem, of the University
of Helsingfors, Finland, finds several reasons for believing
that the cause of rapid growth in the Arctic is to be found
in the electrical currents which flow between the earth and
the atmosphere, and produce the phenomena of the aurora
borealis. The pointed leaves of conifers and the barbs of
ears of grain facilitate the transmission of these currents
through those plants, and this function supplies a reason
for the existence of these peculiarities.”65
Electricity is essential to the life of our planet and our
bodies. Byrd, among others, explained that the core of our
earth behaves like a giant crystal that is a key source of
electromagnetic energy. So too our cells contain crystalline
structures to generate electromagnetic energy. Just as
the water in the body has a major role in sustaining our
electrical charge, so do the oceans of the planet have a
major role in sustaining the earth’s electrical charge.
A gradual decrease, however, in the earth’s magnetic field
has been documented. “…the strength of the earth’s field
40
has decreased a total of 50% during the last 500 years
…” A Japanese scientist, after 20 years of research, has
identified the effect of this weakening magnetic field on
the human energy system and called it the “Magnetic Field
Deficiency Syndrome.”66
Today we are suffering from magnetic field deficiency. Our
bodies are starving for gentle electrical stimulation.
41
Health in the 21st Century
Disease is not an entity, but a fluctuating
condition of the patient’s body, a battle between
the substance of disease and the natural
self-healing tendency of the body.
Hippocrates
L
et’s return to the movie, Mary Shelley’s
Frankenstein, that started my quest. Has science
verified the intuitive knowledge of ancient
China—summed up with Frankenstein’s realization: “I
see, so electricity is the key.”? The research of modern-day
pioneers has revealed how both light and sound trigger our
electrical circuitry. Our electrical reactions, in turn, control
the chemistry—the hormones, vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients that keep our bodies functioning.
Since Roman times we have evidence that electricity was
readily accepted as therapy for better health. Much later,
with the advent of modern pharmaceuticals, scientists
researching and harnessing electromagnetic therapies had
to brave the scorn of peers educated only in the chemical
nature of the body.
What does our journey promise for health in this
century? To keep our electrical circuitry vital, we need to
bathe in our natural environment—to absorb sunlight
and the electromagnetic waves from the beating of our
Earth’s heart. We can boost our health by choosing foods
brimming with photons and reduce our exposure to
environmental pollutants that sap our electromagnetic
vitality.
42
In addition to breaking new ground to understand the
nature and function of our bodies, maverick scientists
are developing gentle electromagnetic therapies. The few
devices we’ve touched on herald the promise to come … a
cascade of choices … devices that work on a subtle, unseen
level, to help us heal from the stresses that bombard us.
Our planet appears to be working to rejuvenate itself.
The dramatic increase in lightning strikes, earthquakes
and changing weather patterns are considered part of
the process of a planet working to rebalance itself. Given
the right electrical nourishment, our body has the ability
to restore itself without cataclysmic reactions. Despite
the stresses and pollutants man must deal with today to
maintain health, if we so choose, medicine for the 21st
century can be gentler. It will work to stimulate the body’s
own electromagnetic healing forces.

Electricity for Health in the 21st Century
- Carole Punt
T
ake a journey to understand the body’s innate
ability to heal itself. Discover how our bodies
function electrically.
This book reveals what conventional science does not
explain ... in simple, easy-to understand language.
Appreciate the pioneers who unraveled the secrets of our
electrical nature and the modern day researchers who
are forging paradigm shifts in how cells communicate.
Explore how light and sound trigger the body’s electrical
system to stimulate energy and improve health.
Walk with the author as she discovers how products and
foods either enhance or inhibit our electrical systems and
our health.
Carole is grateful to bring
together three of her passions by
writing about ways to heal naturally
on a personal and global level with
a spiritual viewpoint. Her books,
websites and video scripts provide
insights on the politics of our day with
an emphasis on health and healing including how gentle electricity heals.
